政府、対中懸念変えず 「大国の責任」履行を

 バイデン米大統領と中国の習近平国家主席によるオンライン会談は、米中関係の安定的発展を推進させることで一致した。日本政府は米中間の対話を評価する一方、覇権主義的な動きを強める中国の対応は変わらないと分析。「自由で開かれたインド太平洋」実現や日本の防衛力強化を進める方針だ。
 官房長官は16日の記者会見で「米中両国関係の安定は極めて重要」と指摘。「米国とさまざまな協力を進めつつ、中国に大国としての責任を果たしていくよう働き掛ける」と語った。
 今回の米中会談は両国間の偶発的トラブルを避けるためとの意味合いが強く、外務省幹部は「これで何かが変わるというものではない」と語る。(2021/11/16-20:09)

After Biden-Xi Meeting, Japan Remains Vigilant against China


While U.S. President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, agreed to promote the stable development of the bilateral relationship in their virtual meeting Tuesday, the Japanese government apparently sees that Beijing will not change its hegemonic ambitions in the Indo-Pacific.
   Japan welcomes dialogue between the United States and China. At the same time, Tokyo plans to continue to pursue a free and open Indo-Pacific region and enhance its defense capability.
   At a press conference on Tuesday, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said, "Stable relations between the United States and China are very important."
   "We'll continue to cooperate with the United States in various fields, and call on China to fulfil its responsibility as a great power," Matsuno said.
   The virtual meeting "will not change anything," a senior Japanese Foreign Ministry official said, as the meeting is widely believed to have been chiefly intended to prevent unexpected trouble between the two countries.
